I keep hearing these same things over and over. I know the builder is trying to keep costs down, but some things really need to be included.
I think the lanai and outside concrete pad can't be big enough - Florida is about outside living and wish the builder would understand this.
Golf cart garage is a no brainer for just about everyone.
Stairs to the garage - get rid of the junk and not necessary
Light tubes are huge 'cause we don't have side windows (because we are so close) and have the lanai or whatever blocking the light from the back. Include some skylights or solar tubes cause we don't want to live in the dark.
I don't have a landline so can't relate to phone outlets and there are cable outlets everywhere - except the wall I chose to put the TV on, but that wasn't a killer.
So these are my thoughts and why I bought a resale rather than new because many of these items were already in place. I have to believe the builder can make these adjustments without much of a price increase and would be delivering a superior product. But then again how many after market suppliers would he put out of business. So.....
